Nature Chemistry
A monthly journal dedicated to publishing high-quality papers that describe the most significant and cutting-edge research in all areas of chemistry, reflecting the traditional core subjects of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry.
Unleashing the Power of Electron Beams for Unprecedented Chemical Transformations and Nanostructure Fabrication
Visualization of single-molecule reactions using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy offers insights into chemical processes. We demonstrate the synthetic potential of the electron beam in inducing formation of a fullerene-porphyrin cage structure, revealing dynamics of Pb binding.
φ-Aromaticity in prismatic {Bi6}-based clusters
Molecules based on cages of metal atoms ('metal clusters') exhibit properties that are usually very different from those known for organic molecules – although analogies are possible. The present case illustrates how a prism of metal atoms helps realizing a new type of aromaticity – φ-aromaticity.
Photoswitchable gating of non-equilibrium enzymatic feedback in chemically communicating polymersome nanoreactors
Polymersomes are an excellent platform to generate cell-like entities with life-like behaviour. Inspired by the circadian rhythm, we explored feedback-controlled networks between chemically communicating polymersome populations.
